Hello,
so i'm currently doing an assignment for NVQ level 3 engineering and I'm writing a bit about health and safety for 3 phase power. i'm after a bit of information on the subject.
am i correct in thinking the UK standard is 415V @50hz
3 phase has 4 wires, one for each phase and one for earth.
what I don't know is how many amps can 3 phase provide? is it amps per phase or total amps?
what circuit protection is there? I've read that fuses aren't used because the fuse on one phase might blow while the other 2 do not, resulting in only 2 phases being supplied, so circuit breakers are used.
if any one has any other useful information i'd be most grateful.
many thanks,
Callum
